2020 Alternate ELMS season - Drivers & stuff

Post by **Ataxia** » 24 Oct 2017, 18:32

Oh look, another endurance series!

I'll go into the rules of engagement a bit later on (driver limits, categories, so on and so forth), but at the moment, I'm just tendering entries for teams. You may apply for one team each for now, and then you'll have the chance to take on more later on.

"Open" teams can be filled with existing ELMS teams, realistic real-life teams, or fictional teams with some kind of sportscar pedigree, it's your call. Whomsoever chooses DragonSpeed will also be responsible for the sister G-Drive car, as in reality (and I might have to be a trifle picky with who runs them, considering they're a big team...)

Any entries with drivers named in them will not be taken. If you're submitting an entry for an open GTE spot, please select a free number between #50 and #99.

#21 DragonSpeed / #22 G-Drive (kevinbotz)
#23 Panis-Barthez Competition (pinkd56)

CarloSpace · Post by **CarloSpace** » 24 Oct 2017, 18:36

I'd like to apply to run the Spirit of Race GTE entry.

Pinkd56 · Post by **Pinkd56** » 24 Oct 2017, 19:17

I'd like to go for Panis-Barthez initially as well as a MK Scuderia entry in the GTE if that's allowed.

Post by **DemocalypseNow** » 24 Oct 2017, 19:19

Trueba Racing Team would like to enter the LMP2 category with entry #24.

This Could Be You · Post by **This Could Be You** » 24 Oct 2017, 19:24

BORC (who currently compete in F4, PES and soon F3) wish to compete in LMP2 #33, or failing that LMP3 #8.

In an agreement with Biscione, #24 will go to Trueba and Kellogg's All-Bran EuroBran Racing will instead use #26

Gonzalez · Post by **Gonzalez** » 24 Oct 2017, 20:05

Would it be possible to enter Proton Porsche in LMGTE? If so, i'll opt for the usual number 77. Failing that however, I'll enter Meditterenan Motorsport with the number 17 in LMP3.

Dexter249 · Post by **Dexter249** » 24 Oct 2017, 21:45

Would like to Apply for Graff.
if That Fails United
if that fails, TF.

V8fan12 · Post by **V8fan12** » 24 Oct 2017, 22:44

Mont Blanc Racing would like to apply to run the #28 LMP2 entry

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 25 Oct 2017, 00:56

Tom Douglas Racing would be interested in a GTE entry with the number #555

pi314159 · Post by **pi314159** » 25 Oct 2017, 15:59

I'd like to run SMP Racing in LMP2. If any vacant positions remain in LMP3 or GT at the end of the signup period, I'd like another entry for Belsø Bilsport.

Bandon23 · Post by **Bandon23** » 25 Oct 2017, 17:20

I'd like to apply for United Autosports in LMP3.

Post by **kevinbotz** » 25 Oct 2017, 22:14

I'll apply for DragonSpeed/G-Drive, then.

Post by **Ataxia** » 27 Oct 2017, 18:32

As things stand, everyone's been provided with at least one of the teams requested. The following vacancies still remain:

LMP2:
Graff
United Autosports

LMP3:
literally all of the vacant slots

GTE:
JMW Motorsport
Aston Martin Racing
three vacant slots

- People with interest in running a second team may apply for an LMP3/GTE slot.

- Tom Douglas Racing must select a number between #50 and #99.

- Here's the 99%-complete spreadsheet. You may begin to select cars, but not drivers at this stage. The spreadsheet includes all FIA Categorisations of canon drivers - if there's an omission or an appeal to change a driver's category, please notify me.

Some GTE teams have already been assigned cars due to works deals. Balance of Performance applies.

Normal32 · Post by **Normal32** » 27 Oct 2017, 18:56

High Class Racing will now run a Dallara P220 chassis.

----

EuroInternational will apply for the #5 vacant in LMP3

They will run a Ligier JSP320.

Dom_Wings · Post by **Dom_Wings** » 27 Oct 2017, 18:59

My second entry will be in LMGTE - Ford Team Europe (based... in the USA

).
Obviously it will be a Ford GT, its number will be 67.

Also, Racing Team Nederland will run the Ligier JSP220.

Post by **kevinbotz** » 27 Oct 2017, 19:00

DragonSpeed and G-Drive will both opt for the Oreca 09.

Gertrand Bachot · Post by **Gertrand Bachot** » 27 Oct 2017, 19:03

YMR will run the Ligier JSP320 chassis.

Post by **DemocalypseNow** » 27 Oct 2017, 19:04

In hindsight I would like to make the following adjustments;

The #24 Trueba Racing Team LMP2 entry will now become the #24 Voeckler LME. The team will run with an ORECA 09 chassis.

Trueba Racing Team will apply to take an LMGTE slot, running as #70 with a Ferrari 488 GTE.

This Could Be You · Post by **This Could Be You** » 27 Oct 2017, 19:05

BORC will continue our use of Dallara chassis as in ARNippon and purchase a P220 chassis.

Also, (if possible), BORC would be interested in also taking the #8 LMP3 slot too, akin to United Autosports' setup. If that seems unrealistic I understand (we're a far less established team than United, albeit one with a lot of money), I'll either enter some RL team in #8 or stick with LMP2.

Klon · Post by **Klon** » 27 Oct 2017, 19:18

Cool Racing by GPC have decided to change after three years of competing with the Ligier model and will run the Ginetta G57-P3.

pi314159 · Post by **pi314159** » 27 Oct 2017, 19:33

SMP Racing will switch back to Oreca and run an Oreca 09.

Belsø Bilsport (#12) will apply for a place in LMP3 with a Norma M31

pasta_maldonado · Post by **pasta_maldonado** » 27 Oct 2017, 19:46

EuroBran will go for Oreca chassis.

This Could Be You · Post by **This Could Be You** » 27 Oct 2017, 20:03

As I forgot to mention it, BORC's LMP3 squad will take a gamble on the ADESS chassis.

Peteroli34 · Post by **Peteroli34** » 27 Oct 2017, 20:14

Would like to enter Hunter Autosport in GTE - Ferrari 488 GTE

Also would like to enter the #17 LMP3 slot with Nielsen Racing Running a Ligier JSP320

Bandon23 · Post by **Bandon23** » 27 Oct 2017, 21:53

United Autosports will run a chassis Ligier JSP320.

V8fan12 · Post by **V8fan12** » 27 Oct 2017, 22:25

Mont Blanc will use the Ligier JSP220

Pilot · Post by **Pilot** » 27 Oct 2017, 23:02

Would like to enter LMP3 with #14, North Star Racing.

And, if possible, another LMP3 entry with #11 EarlGP.

pasta_maldonado · Post by **pasta_maldonado** » 27 Oct 2017, 23:32

If approved, I'd like to run a real-life entry in LMP3 - the specifics of which TBA until I've chatted with Ataxia.

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 28 Oct 2017, 08:20

Tom Douglas Racing will change to the #55, and run a customer Ford GT to fit into the Saleen them from the GT World Series

Pinkd56 · Post by **Pinkd56** » 28 Oct 2017, 10:23

Panis-Barthez will use the respective Ligier in both P2 and P3.

I'd also like to run a Tockwith Motorsport Ginetta in P3 if that's alright.

Would like to avoid dual-LMP3 entries for now, however I'll keep them in mind if we have spaces to fill.

Wanna take one more crack at that, guv? :vergne:

pasta_maldonado · Post by **pasta_maldonado** » 28 Oct 2017, 17:03

Oregon Team will enter the LMP3 class, with the number 10 ADESS-03R.

Dexter249 · Post by **Dexter249** » 16 Nov 2017, 14:44

Just saying, I am here, and will be running TF Sport
I guess I'll apply for one of the open LMP3 Spots

TomDilain · Post by **TomDilain** » 17 Nov 2017, 01:48

If possible, I would like to run on LMP3 class with a new fictional team, United Kingdom-based VA Racing. Number #15 with Ligier chassis.

Post by **Miguel98** » 20 Nov 2017, 00:06

Algarve Pro Racing would like to run a Ligier JSP220.

Post by **Ataxia** » 21 Nov 2017, 18:13

Just a reminder that Graff and United Autosports' LMP2 operations are free.

There's also three vacant LMP3 teams, and both AMR and JMW are available in the GTE category.

Furthermore, I've been working on a few profile shots for cars - if you're running a fictional team, let me know your colour scheme and sponsors so I can get to work on it. Thanks!

Here's an example...

Pinkd56 · Post by **Pinkd56** » 21 Nov 2017, 20:40

I'd be interested in running the AMR entries

You got it. You'll have the chance to run as plain ol' Aston Martin Racing if you take any old bronze, or Beechdeen AMR if you take Andrew Howard for that role.

Now that the 2018 FIA driver classifications are out, driver signing will commence when all the slots are taken. I will explain the process for this later.

Mont Blanc Racing livery

Colour scheme: Red, White and Blue
Sponsors: Total, Michelin, Ralph Lauren, Pernod Ricard
